Domain Expiration Alerts

Founder, Notify.domains · ex-GoDaddy Director of Education · founder, DomainSherpa & DNAcademy

You want a domain somebody else already owns. You know it is expiring. You want to be ready the instant it is actually yours to register. Notify.domains watches every stage of the expiration cycle — grace period, redemption, pending delete, drop, and auction — and alerts you the moment anything changes, with plain-English next steps so you act at the right moment instead of refreshing WHOIS at 3am.

How it works

Add the domain

Type any domain you care about into your dashboard. We start watching immediately. No registrar connection needed; we use public WHOIS, RDAP, DNS, and marketplace data.

We watch every status change

Multiple checks per day. We detect expiration date changes, status flags (clientHold, redemptionPeriod, pendingDelete), nameserver moves, and the moment the name becomes available to register again.

You get a clear alert

Email, in-app, Slack, webhook, or whatever channel you use. Each alert says what changed and the recommended next step, so you do not have to look things up.

What you get

Expiration date changes

Know when a domain moves toward its expiration date and when the date shifts due to a renewal or grace extension.

Grace and redemption alerts

Get notified the moment the site goes dark or the registrar parks the name. These phases tell you the owner has not yet renewed.

Pending delete countdown

When a name enters the 5-day pending delete window, you see it immediately so you have time to place backorders.

Available-to-register alert

The moment a name becomes registerable, you get a clear alert with a direct link to register at your preferred registrar.

Auction and listing alerts

We also watch auctions and marketplaces, so a domain that gets pulled into an expired auction never slips past you.

All channels

In-app, daily digest email, instant email, Slack, or webhook. Pick what works for you; mix them per domain.

Who this is for

Founders and entrepreneurs

You are waiting on a specific name for your brand. You want to know the moment it is real.

Brand and legal teams

You watch your canonical names plus variant TLDs. Expiration surprises are not acceptable.

Domain investors

You manage a watchlist of dozens or hundreds of names and need a reliable feed of status changes.

Frequently asked questions

Can I get alerts for a domain I do not own?

Yes. That is the main use case. Add any domain to your dashboard. We watch it using public data (WHOIS, RDAP, DNS, marketplaces) and notify you when anything changes.

How fast will I know when a domain is available?

Within minutes. Multiple checks per day per domain, plus targeted checks on known drop windows, so the moment the registry releases a name you see it.

Do you send me email spam?

No. You choose the channels and cadence. Default is a daily digest plus instant emails for urgent events (pending delete, becomes available, auction appears). You can turn off any of these.

Do you support country-code TLDs?

We support every TLD in the IANA root zone. Depending on the registry, coverage may be WHOIS+DNS only rather than full status-code detail, but you still get real-time change detection.
